Plisková, Hana ; Sládeček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Průcha, Petr (referee) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
1 Summary The public administration itself is bound by applicable laws rules. Therefore, in case of breach of individual rights stemming from the legal system of the Czech Republic, every person is guaranteed a strictly legal procedure with corresponding legal mechanisms, which aim to remedy of status cause by unlawfull action or inaction of the public administration. Moreover, if conditions laid down by European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms are met, an individual has a right to apply to the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg) for a revision of a challenged act of public administration, which is considered to be as a final and conclusive from the point of view of national law. The object of this Thesis focuses, in particular, on analysis of individual means of protection of rights in public administration and their mutual relationships between them at level of legal regulation de lege ferenda. Also, it cannot be disregarded the assessment of effect of courts' decisions or doctrine, including stating own knowledge based on the practice particularly in the area of administrative law.

Decision-making of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and its impact upon civil proceedings
Bartoš, Jan ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
Name of the text, you are holding in your hands, could be well translated as "Decesion making of Czech Constitutional Court and its influence on civil procedure." It consist of three very separate parts, each of them following its own topic, linked up together only with major role of Constitutional Court (further "CC"). First chapter is dedicated to a slightly controversial case, which has been widely publicly discussed. The topic is strictly procedural, it refers to the possibilty of higher courts to remove and assign single cases to different judge/panel of judges. Although under certain circumstances allowed, in this case it seemed to be an unjustifed violation of art. 38 par. 1 of Letter of human rights and I conclude arguments, which could justify such restrictive process. Second one is following last ten years of interventions in Code of Civil Procedure, namely in regulation of review of appeal. In the first part are described reasons, why CC consider decision with missing justification unconstitutional and accordingly declares corresponding part of Code of Civil Procedure unconstitutional. In second part I analyze long-term contrary judgements of CC and Czech supreme court on admissibility of review of appeal which resulted in major part of regulation being declared unconstitutional. I...

Constitutional Judiciary in Spain
Borská, Nela ; Mlsna, Petr (advisor) ; Suchánek, Radovan (referee)
Summary: Constitutional judiciary in Spain The subject of this thesis is constitutional judiciary in Spain. According to the Spanish Constitution of 1978 Spain belongs in the group of states which have established a system of concentrated and specialized constitutional judiciary. In the Czech legal literature is the Spanish constitutional judiciary mentioned mainly as a system based on the German constitutional judiciary, writings dedicated exclusively to the Spanish system are not very common. In spite of the fact that the legislative regulation of the Spanish Constitutional Court was really importantly inspired by the regulation of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (especially in the area of competencies of the Constitutional Court), there are also some significant particularities and typical features of the Spanish Constitutional Court which can be an interesting subject of an analysis. The aim of the thesis is to provide a characterization of the Spanish constitutional judiciary. Because of the limited length of the thesis this study does not contain a detailed analysis of all aspects of the Spanish constitutional judiciary. I have focused only on some topics of the Spanish constitutional judiciary, particularly on the topic of the position and the importance of the Constitutional Court in the...

Firstly there is no need to analyse them for the sake of insight into the problem, secondly there should be kept adequate range of this work. The third part results from the analysis of the...
